Pepper Explains the Meaning Behind Drunken Noodles

When it comes to recipe requests, so many of you have been asking for more of mom's noodle recipes. While her Pad Thai (   • Pepper’s Korat-Style Pad Thai  ) is hard to beat, I think her drunken noodles (aka "pad kee mao") has to be a close second. "Kee mao" literally translates to “drunk person," which mom says is because the dish has so much heat that even a drunk person can taste all the flavors. (Uh, no idea if this is true.) Whether you believe her or not, these noodles are still a household favorite. The wide noodles are coated and soaked all the way through with a thick, savory sauce filled with chili peppers for an extra kick. Caution: the more you mash the chili peppers, the spicier they become. So if super spicy food isn't your thing, hold back on the chilies, or use a light touch with the mortar & pestle!
